Marvel’s Joe Quesada says getting Spider-Man right starts with Peter Parker

Spider-Man

Even with their flaws I've enjoyed at least parts of all of the Spidey movies (yes that includes SPIDER-MAN 3; the Sandman transformation scene was awesome), but like many fans, I would love to see Marvel and Sony get the character right for his upcoming big screen adventures.

Over the weekend a fan on Tumblr asked Marvel's Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada what he believes the studios need to do to make the best Spider-Man film possible, and I think most of you will be happy with his response.

The trick to making any incarnation of Spider-Man great, whether comics, animation or film is Peter Parker. Get Peter’s character right and the rest falls into place.

While most fans loved Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker, some thought he made a weak Spider-Man, and many have said the exact opposite about Andrew Garfield's take on the character. What do you think is the key to getting Peter Parker/Spider-Man right?

The new web-slinger will be introduced in CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR on May 6, 2016, and Marvel/Sony's solo Spider-Man movie (possibly titled THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN) is set to open on July 28, 2017.
